Lou Reed-Coney Island Baby *****
Coney Island Baby may be the very best thing that Lou Reed ever recorded with or without The Velvet Underground. Released right after the failure of his only bad solo album, whos name I wont even type Coney Island Baby is Reeds most peronal and beautiful album ever. He was given a second chance by his record company and he was in love with a transvestite which already made for an interesting album. This was the first but certainly not the last time that Reed would fall in love and record a polished album becuase of it and sing in a real radio friendly voice.
As mentioned before the songs are Reeds most personal only The Blue Mask can compare with passion felt in one of his albums. 'Crazy Feeling' 'Shes My Best Friend' and 'Coney Island Baby' are so autobiographical it makes you want to cry when you hear Reed sing the songs. 'Kicks' is an extended jam that is very cool it reminds me of the bridge to 'Cant You Hear Me Knockin' by The Rolling Stones. As always the subject matter in one way or another finds a way to tie back to Reeds beloved city, New York. When a person spends their entire career singing about the same thing in one form or another you think that you wold grow old and tired of the artist well not with Reed and not when the subject is such a broad topic as New York is, and that is exactly what the title track of the album does, it ties everything Reed has ever sang about up to that point and made it all come together and make since with that one track. Songs like the self sure 'Gift' and 'Charleys Girl' show a pure cockey side of Reed that because it is him comes across as cool more then it does cockey. As the album comes to a close it leaves you wanting more which is odd for Lou Reed album because his albums usualy leave you fulfilled at the end but this one if so good that when it is over you dont want it to stop.
The new reissue of the album comes with six additional songs as bonus tracks after the original album has ended. 'Nowhere At All' 'Downtown Dirt' 'Leave Me Along are all songs that could have been placed on the album originaly and would have fit in perfectly making this already brilliant album even better.Then three alternate takes of 'Crazy Feeling' 'Shes My Best Friend' and the title track 'Coney Island Baby' are what closes the cd. These add something more to the overall greatness of the album because they show you what Reed started out with on those songs and where he went with them until he was satisfied.
Coney Island Baby is an album that people enjoy who dont even like Lou Reed. This the one to own if you ask me. Transformer is good but CIB in my opinion owns that album. The Blue Mask, Berlin, and New York are the only album Reed released that even compare to this album and even then they fail and miserably at that.
